EU Council President Donald Tusk on Monday commented on the resignation of Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.

"Politicians come and go but the problems they have created for people remain. I can only regret that the idea of #Brexit has not left with Davis and Johnson. But...who knows?" Tusk tweeted.

It was earlier reported that British Prime Minister Theresa May was "a little surprised" over seeing Johnson's resignation letter.

“I am sorry - and a little surprised - to receive [the letter] after the productive discussions we had at Chequers on Friday, and the comprehensive and detailed proposal which we agreed as a cabinet,” May said in her reply to Johnson, according to Reuters.
